Our Take
Our Take
Lee Konitz, Dan Tepfer, Michael Janisch, and Jeff Williams walk into a bar...well, a stage in London, to be precise. And what ensues is nothing short of pure musical magic on their album "First Meeting: Live In London. Volume 1".
If jazz was a cocktail, this album would be the perfect mix of smooth saxophone, quirky piano melodies, funky bass lines, and tight drumming. It's like taking a sip of a perfectly shaken martini - classy, sophisticated, and utterly satisfying.
Konitz's saxophone playing is as cool as a cucumber, effortlessly weaving in and out of Tepfer's intricate piano lines. Janisch's bass provides a solid foundation while Williams' drums add a playful rhythm that keeps you on your toes.
The chemistry between these four musicians is undeniable, each feeding off the other's energy and creativity. It's like witnessing a musical conversation unfold before your very ears, with each instrument taking its turn to speak.
So grab yourself a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Lee Konitz, Dan Tepfer, Michael Janisch, and Jeff Williams take you on a journey through the vibrant world of jazz. Cheers to a truly memorable "First Meeting" that we hope will lead to many more volumes to come.
